CAPTAIN WHITEHEAD.
Mr.. Loving, of Amherst. rose 70 a
question of personal privilege. Reading
from the Dispatch the telegram sent by
the state Changers to the presiding otii-
GERS of both houses of the General AS
sembly, Mr.. Loving said that he felt it a
duty TO himself, to his fellow-members
Of the House, and TO Captain Thomas
Whitehead, Commissioner of Agricul-
ture elect, to correct the injustice the
telegram sought to do Captain White
head. In ii he was referred to as a poll
tician, and the idea conveyed that poll
ties was his profession and he had no
other avocation in life The members
OF the State Grange were eitherignorant
OF the high qualifications of Captain
Whitehead fer the Office or they had
been misinformed.
As a lawyer, as farmer, as an editor,
and as a legislator, he has ever proved
himself a strong friend and advocate Of
the farming interests of his State, and
no man need fear that the farming in
dustries will suffer in his hands.
During the period he was engaged in
journalism the editorial columns of bis
papers were devoted to the interests Of
the farmer. tie knew Of instances where
Captain Whitehead's suggestions were
adopted by farmers with great success.
Since the meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Masons Mr. Loving had met many
farmers from all portions of the State,
and he had yet the first one to see who
did not feel eratified and proud of Cap
tain Whitehead's election. The telegram
did Captain Whitehead gross injustice,
and it gave MIR. Loving pleasure to cor
rect it.
